Geocache Description:

The second cache of The Olympians, this time we present you our oldest chapel, the chapel of Agia Marina !

History:

At this location there was a small chapel dedicated to Saint Marina and next to it there was a shepherds' settlement. When the Ottoman Turkish army arrived in this area from Lefkara, during 1570, they attacked the settlement with cannons, which the Turks were trying out for the first time. They started firing against the houses with stone shells and the settlement was destroyed along with the church. The inhabitants that survived took refuge in Lympia village. The day that "Agia Marina" was destroyed was a Tuesday and ever since then the region was named "Kakotriti" (Bad Tuesday). The church of Saint Marina was rebuilt, while signs of caves can still be found in the area of the settlement.

Cache Details:
